With this function you can construct your weekly calendar of lessons, which is customized on the basis of the courses that you intend to follow.Warning: the personal schedule does not replace the presentation of the study plan! It's an informal tool that can help you better manage the organization of class attendance before the study plan presentation.After the study plan presentation we recommend you to use the Lecture timetable service in your Online Services.

To create your customized schedule follow these instructions:

Click on the "Enable" link to proceed. You will be asked your surname and first name in order to determine your alphabetic grouping.

To add or remove courses from your personal schedule, use the small icons which are found next to the courses:

addition of the course

selection of the section of the Laboratory of Architecture (Note: the effective area in which the teaching will be carried out will be determined after the presentation of the Study Plans)

The sidebar on the left displays the number of lessons included in schedule. There are also these commands:

View the schedule: allows the viewing of the weekly synoptic schedule

Delete the schedule: cancels the selections made

When you have finished the entry, you can print the calendar you have made.

The aim of the course is to explore the emotional components of Design. Starting from a neuroscientific definition of what an emotion is, the perceptual properties of human artifacts are studied, able to raise emotions, with the consequent design responsibilities. After an analysis of the evolution of Design, the human brain structures are presented, and the related sites for the emotions, properly classified. Then the perceptual properties of the human artifacts are examined, both in terms of embodies capabilities and of cultural interpretations, able to raise one of more of the specific emotions previously classified. Many examples and critical comments are provided. Main referred authors are Jaak Panksepp (for the emotional systems and the related taxonomy) and Vilayanur Ramachandran(for the perceptual aspects).
